Dear forum members,
Eupedia moved to a new server last week. If the forum tells you that the page has unsafe scripts, or if anything doesn't work properly on the forum, just clear your browser cache and cookies and everything should go back to normal.

Have you considered the possibility that it could be intentional,instead of misguided policies?

Always. On various levels, many of them in the UK don't care about what voters feel. They act in accordance with their political and world view. We're just the masses that keep voting some variation of them back in office and in the intervening 4-5 years, ignore what the voters want. That's why I don't vote for any of them.

I'm of the opinion that the powers behind the scenes would very much like to return to European feudalism.
This would entail lowering the living standards of the industrialized nations,and raising the standards of the 3rd world nations-by taking what you have,and giving it to them,until there is a meeting in the middle.
Then they could have the power elite on top,and the masses on bottom,with no middle class,and no restrictions on the whims and desires of the elite.

They've already achieved it. Instead of subjugating the masses (impossible, even in Iran) they neutralise them with consumerism. Keep the people focused on what they don't have (i.e. don't actually need) and they'll never be happy - always striving. Promise them everlasting opportunity, and they won't challenge your changing the world around them. We're all to blame for voting for them.

You don't need a middle/lower class if they're all striving for the same goal. We all end up being mindless strivers, dancing to the tune of 'I wannabe...'

When we next wake up, European culture has already changed, and is turning into a global, 'free market', consumerist blob.

Spot on! The Corporate-Government Axis at work. Keep them fat, stupid and poor...
